harry:
finally asleep after a LOOONNNGG night of screaming, crying, and heavy use of the term "no way".

me:
cried for a good hour, exhausted, glasses broken after really needing to lay down and forgetting that i left them on the couch.

i am fairly certain that today is going to be one of those days that i look back on and can't remember for the life of me just how i survived...

sunny days

actually it's raining outside...

but the title is actually referring to the fact that my son seems to have gotten over his obsession with all things Yo Gabba Gabba. i am in a state of shock! i thought i would never see the day when singing ridiculous songs about parties in my tummy would come to an end.

today, however, they it did. sesame street is apparently the drug of choice for two year olds.

while muno and brobee are things of the past, elmo and bert are amongst all things holy in the mind of a rather rambunctious toddler.

so, it looks as though target will no longer be getting my money for singing djs and green monsters but rather tickle-me-elmos and overly-developed yellow birds... it's already begun with a $17 bert compliments of my husband...

a little of this

apparently i have gotten the nesting bug. i can be perfectly happy sitting on the couch, when suddenly i HAVE TO wash the kitchen floor or do laundry. this is going to get annoying fast.
ha!

we are going out of town this weekend for stephen's grandpa's 90th birthday. his birthday and harry's are actually on the same day. it's kind of sad that i won't get to celebrate my baby's birthday on the actual day...
oh well, he'll have plenty more, right? i should probably be more focused on how i am going to handle a LONG car trip with a 2 year old while being extrememly pregnant. but at least i'll be with some really cute guys.

on a side note, my friend aimee is amazingly sweet and has offered to throw a shower for this new little guy. i am really blessed to have such awesomely sweet friends. aw.

week end

i am incapable of accomplishing much of anything past getting harry and myself dressed at this point. needless to say, my list is left for next week.

i did manage to start cleaning out the guest room... however, it quickly became an even bigger mess. i now believe that things randomly appear and disappear in my home. oh well, i don't need to make myself feel like a failure just because i didn't reach goals that i set for myself.

the BIG goal is really just to feel semi-ready for this baby and to spend as much time with harry before as possible before our world gets turned upside down....

here is some baby love that i have been drooling over...

and it's thursday already.

yesterday i turned around and all of my pots and pans were laid out on the kitchen floor. in their place was an active two year old who kept saying "cheese" until i got the camera and took his picture.

however, i did manage to finally finish this pillow that has been sitting around my house for about a month...

i found this pillow
on etsy and really liked the concept, but wanted something with more red.
so i embroidered the tree and initials and sewed a red border to add the pop of color i wanted.
i like it alot.
